More than 4,000 young Jews participated on Monday evening at the opening event of this year’s “Masa Journey” project in Jerusalem.
Masa provides pro-Israel community and activities in a one-year program framework. The 2015-2016 year is expected to be a record year for the organization, which was established in 2004 by the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency, with more than 12,000 young people taking part, an increase of 7% from last year and a record high since the organization was founded.
